From the Ethical to Politics
On Deconstruction´s Necessary Leap Toward Immanence in Light of the Other
von Malte KayßerAnd if my secret self, that which can be revealed only to the other, to the wholly other, to God if you wish, is a secret that I will never reflect on, that I will never know or experience or possess as my own, then what sense is there in saying that it is “my” secret, or in saying more generally that a secret belongs, that it is proper to or belongs to some “one”, or to some other who remains someone?
Derrida, The Gift of Death
But I would make of this trans-political principle a political principle, a political rule or position taking: it is necessary also in politics to respect the secret, that which exceeds the political or that which is no longer in the juridical domain. This is what I would call the “democracy to come”.
